Single-mode propagation conditions of X-ray waveguides are investigated by numerical calculations in order to understand the importance of waveguide design parameters, such as core thickness and the optical constants of waveguide materials, on the transmission and coherence properties of the waveguide. The simulation code for mode analyzing is developed based on a numerical solution of the parabolic wave equation. The initial boundary value problem is solved numerically using a finite-difference scheme based on the Crank-Nicolson scheme. The E-field intensities in a core layer are calculated at an X-ray energy of 8.0 keV for air and beryllium(Be) core waveguides with different cladding layers such as Pt, Au, W, Ni and Si to determine the dependence on waveguide materials. The highest E-field intensity radiated at the exit of the waveguide is obtained from the Pt cladded beryllium core with a thickness of 20 nm. However, the intensity from the air core waveguide with Pt cladding reaches 64% of the Be-Pt waveguide. The dependence on the core thickness, which is the major parameter used to generate a single mode in the waveguide, is investigated for the air-Pt, and Be-Pt waveguides at an X-ray energy of 8.0 keV. The mode profiles at the exit are shown for the single mode at a thickness of up to 20 nm for the air-Pt and the Be-Pt waveguides.

The optical properties of the materials composing organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are considered when designing the optical structure of OLEDs. Optical design is related to the optical properties, such as the efficiency, emission spectra, and color coordinates of OLED devices because of the microcavity effect in top-emitting OLEDs. In this study, the properties of top-emitting blue OLEDs were optimized by adjusting the thicknesses of the thin metal layer and capping layer (CPL). Deep blue emission was achieved in an OLED structure with a second cavity length, even when the transmittance of the thin metal layer was high. The thin metal film thickness ranges applicable to OLEDs with a second microcavity structure are wide. Instead, the thickness of the thin metal layer determines the optimized thickness of the CPL for high efficiency. A thinner metal layer means that higher efficiency can be obtained in OLED devices with a second microcavity structure. In addition, OLEDs with a thinner metal layer showed less color change as a function of the viewing angle.

SELFOC 소재를 사용하여 높은 수치구경을 가지는 광픽업용 대물렌즈를 설계하였다. SELFOC 소재는 radial gradient-index 분포를 가지며, 이것은 설계에 추가적인 자유도를 제공하므로, 비구면이 아닌 구면만으로 높은 수치구경의 대물렌즈의 설계가 가능하다. 이 연구에서는 quadratic constant와 광축의 굴절률, 광축 두께, 입사동 직경을 변화시키며 rms 스폿 직경 변화를 조사하였으며, Code V를 사용하여 대물렌즈의 최적화와 결상특성을 평가하였다. 이 분석에서는 quadratic constant와 광축의 굴절률이 클수록, 렌즈가 두꺼워질수록, 입사동 직경은 작을수록 더 좋은 특성을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 2매의 구면 SELFOC 렌즈로 구성된 높은 NA의 DVR용 대물렌즈를 설계하였으며, 2가지 형태의 해 Solution I, II가 존재하였다 Solution I은 두 매 모두 양의 굴절능을 가지며 compact한 광학계를 구성하지만, 비축 수차 보정이 Solution II에 비해 부족하였다. Solution II는 음-양의 굴절능으로 조합된 광학계로 비축 수차가 비교적 잘 보정되었지만, 광학계의 전장길이가 길고 렌즈의 직경이 커지는 문제점이 있었다.

We propose a design and optimization method for a dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguide using a genetic algorithm. This structure consists of a polymer ridge on top of two layers of substrate and gold film. The thickness, width and refractive index of the ridge are designed to optimize the figures of merit including mode confinement and propagation length. The modal analysis combined with the effective index method shows that the designed waveguide exhibits a fundamental propagation mode with high mode confinement while ensuring that the propagation loss remains relatively low.

Recently, the optical disk drive that is thin in thickness has been demanded by the popularization of notebook PC. The device that controls the thickness of a drive is the height of optical pickup. Therefore, researches about this are going on and an asymmetric actuator is the good choice fur this target. However, the actuator of this design has troubles that a subsidiary resonance is likely to be actuated by discord between the center of force and the mass of renter. In this paper, relation between the tracking coil and the subsidiary resonance is analyzed and dynamic characteristics of an actuator are improved by using experiments design and response surface method.

At present, the fabrication of optical filter for optical communication mostly depends on handwork, and only a few companies are propelling semi-automatic systems compounded with automatic and hand-operated methods. The measurement evaluation of optical filters is not commonly useful, so it causes difficulties in the producing field. And the packaging process becomes a very unstable process because the filters are judged from the results that they are not measured and immediately packaged during that process. In this situation, the automatic assembly system of optical filter for communication is extremely important and has begun to make its appearance as the most necessary technology for developing optical communication component with high-functionality. In this paper, we constructed systems of assembly and performance evaluation for micro optical collimator. And by using that, we designed a system capable of performance evaluation and assembly of film filter of about 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness as well as optical filter for common communication.

A traveling-wave CPW(coplanar waveguide) electrode with abruptly broken input/output-taper for LiNbO$_3$optical modulator was designed and fabricated. The electrical characteristics of traveling-wave electrode on z-cut LiNbO$_3$crystal with SiO$_2$buffer layers were measured by network analyzer. To confirm the possibility of the electro-optic modulator electrode, detailed calculations of the impedance, microwave effective index and attenuation constants are presented as a function of the microwave electrode thickness, but the buffer layer thickness is fixed as 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. These characteristics are discussed from the viewpoint of the device optimization and are expected to be design guides for the LiNbO$_3$modulator’s electrodes.

As a standard of optical disk drive (ODD) was determined to Blu-ray diks (BD), researches for securing slim drive thickness, high data transfer rate and high capacity have been progressed. The actuator for applying BD is also required to have high performances, such as compatibility, slim thickness and 3-axis motion. In this paper, an asymmetric dual lens actuator is proposed to satisfy abovementioned performances. To design the actuator in a limited space, stress analysis and design of experiment (DOE) are performed to reduce weight of moving part and increase driving force and flexible mode frequency. Consequently, the final model, which is satisfied with specifications, is secured.

In this paper, the performance of a system was analyzed according to the design parameters of a LED secondary lens that can be applied at a very close range, e.g., for direct lighting or display systems. We designed the secondary lens of the very-close-range LED using an aspheric equation and analyzed its performance-particularly the angle of the beam spread, central luminous intensity, and light uniformity-with respect to the thickness of lens, radius, conic constant, and asphericity (4th). Our analysis shows that four parameters affect the performance. The simulation results indicate an optimal thickness of 1 mm and show that a larger radius yields higher performance. The optimal range for the conic constant was determined as -1.21 to -1.25, the optimal range for the asphericity was determined as 0.0047xx to 0.0049xx (4th).

헤드 마운티드 디스플레이(head mounted display, HMD)를 이용한 증강 현실(augmented reality, AR)은 군사, 의료, 제조, 게임 및 교육 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 HMD에 가장 필수적인 AR 광학계의 설계 및 제작에 대해 논의한다. HMD용 AR 광학계는 디스플레이의 증강 영상과 현실 세계를 동시에 볼 수 있는 넓은 투명 영역이 필요하다. 이를 위해, AR 광학계를 각각의 특성에 따라 세 부분으로 나누어 설계 및 제작하였다. 그리고 3개의 광학계를 하나의 완전한 AR 광학계로 만들기 위해 필요한 ultra-violet (UV) 접착층의 굴절률을 고려해 설계함으로써 입력 광원이 UV 접착 층을 통과할 때의 광경로 이동(shift) 현상을 최소화하였다. 또한, AR 광학계를 설계할 때 축외 수차를 보정하고 양산에 적합하도록 2개의 비구면을 사용했다. 끝으로 HMD 양산을 위해 두께 11 mm, 대각선 화각(diagonal field of view) 40°, 무게 11.3 g의 비구면 AR 광학계를 설계하고 제작하였다.
